Who do you think said this:

"Tonight I can tell you of dramatic changes in our strategic nuclear force. These are actions we are taking on our own, because they are the right thing to do. "

"After completing 20 planes for which we have begun procurement, we will shut down production of the B-2 bomber. We will cancel the ICBM program. We will cease production of new warheads for our sea-based missiles. We will stop all production of the peacekeeper missile. And we will not purchase any more advanced cruise missiles. "

"We will eliminate all Peacekeeper missiles. We will reduce the number of warheads on Minuteman missiles to one and reduce the number of warheads on our sea-based missiles by about one-third. And we will convert a substantial portion of our strategic to primarily conventional use. "

Is this an example of John Kerry irresponsibly cutting defense as the Bush campaign alleges?

Nope, this is George H. W. Bush's 1992 State of the Union speech. Kerry did vote to cut these programs, with George H. W. Bush.

But, who proposed all of these cuts? From the same speech:

"The Secretary of Defense recommended these cuts after consultation with the joint chiefs of staff."

Who was the Secretary of Defense at the time? Dick Cheney. In every case, the defense cuts they accuse Kerry of voting for were proposed by Cheney and a Bush.

Do not believe what you are told by these people, research on your own....
